[SpyNote]

The main problem with the book is that it didn't seem to go through a very rigorous QA check. There are lots of little errors that should have been caught.

Into this western land was born Stephanie Lynn Nicks on May 28, 1948... (1)
May 26, 1948. The biggest mistake is on page 1, her birthday!!!

The remixed "Dreams" single, with Stevie's fragile voice, got played on AM radio now... (112)

It was the album version, not a remix.

One of the last tracks completed [for Trouble in Shangri-La] was recorded in Paris. This was "Love Is," a languid ballad... (269)

"Love Is" was recorded by Sarah McLachlan's longtime French-Canadian producer Pierre Marchand, which is the closest connection to Paris! It was supposed to be recorded in the U.S., but due to Marchard's green card problem, Stevie went to Vancouver, where it was eventually recorded.


The hottest female group in America, Destiny's Child, sampled the "Stand Back" guitar riff for their single "Bootylicious," and invited Stevie to appear in the video, miming Waddy's now classic single-note guitar stutter. (271)

"Edge of Seventeen," not "Stand Back."

A son of a friend of Stevie's, one of her godsons named Cory, eighteen years old, had overdosed on drugs at a fraternity party. (303)

Not sure if this is a mistake, or rather lawyers asking the writer to change the name. It was actually Glen Parrish's son Glen, Jr. who OD-d, not Cory.

The Pretenders opened the concert with an hour-long jukebox set. Stevie and her band, working in front of colorful animations and psychedelic patterns, launched into "Outside the Rain" as fans ran back to their seats after beer runs and bathroom visits. (311)

"Gold and Braid," not "Outside the Rain"

When the unfamiliar "Belle Fleur" segued into "Dreams"... (311)

"Outside the Rain," not "Belle Fleur"
